Should all 49 and 50 desoto's normally have an anti stall switch and back up switch?I am having problems finding them on my car.I assume the anti stall switch has to be on the carb, but unfortunately it isn't.Can anyone help?Can take a picture from the carb if necessary.Thanks

Alex, I would have responded sooner but was waiting for someone that knows more about this than I do.

The anti-stall is on the carb.. Could it be that someone replaced the carb with one from a car with a standard transmission? I am assuming you would have to by-pass the anti-stall someway but have no idea how that would be done.

I am not sure about the back-up switch either. I don't know if it would be the same as my '52.

Did you try contacting the '49 year technical advisor? He should be able to help you.
